It was a week later and Kate and Tony still hadn't told anyone about the pregnancy. Kate had managed to get Abby not to tell anyone. Tony was still thinking of ways he could propose to her and then finally came up with a good idea. He had rented a small cabin about an hours drive away for this weekend. There was a restaurant on the place as well and they would send out people to deliver dinners and everything. Tony had gone out there the previous weekend to tell them what was going on and what he wanted. They were able to give him that. The cabin was a small but comfortable place. It had a big fireplace with a nice table, a small kitchen and one bedroom that was upstairs. The bedroom had a bathroom with a huge spa bath and a big king size bed. All Tony had to do what look at it and he had to say yes. He still hadn't told Kate about it and when he did he would say it would be good for their unborn child to go on a holiday. Tony smiled to himself. Ziva and Jacob had returned a few days before; it was now Thursday. Tony hoped that a case wasn't called in today or tomorrow. He decided to talk to Gibbs and tell him about what he was planning.

"Um Boss, can I talk to you?" Tony asked getting up.

"Make it quick DiNozzo." Gibbs grumbled.

Tony flinched, if Gibbs was angry at something then maybe right now wasn't the best time to ask him. "Um somewhere else?" Tony pushed. Kate gave him a strange look. Gibbs turned around and saw the plea in Tony's eyes.

"Conference room." Gibbs muttered and they headed off to the elevator. "What's up?" Gibbs asked in a very non-Gibbish manner.

"Well Boss, I uh um…I" Tony stuttered for the first time in well…ages.

"Tony, if you do a McGee on me then I will not be happy, understand?" Gibbs said firmly very curious about what was making the senior agent like this.

Tony nodded and gulped. "Well I booked this cabin for this weekend for me and Kate, and I am planning on asking her to marry me. I was hoping if we got any cases we could still have the weekend off?" Tony expected to be slapped over the head and told work first, but what he saw surprised him. Gibbs was smiling, trying to hold it back but he was smiling.

"That's fine Tony. Congratulations." Tony smiled. "Just take good care of her Tony, you wont get another chance like this again." Gibbs said seriously. Gibbs was how ever thinking of Shannon, he tried to find another person he could share his life with after her death but never did.

"Wow, Boss, never thought you took marriages like that. It's a wonder your three ended in divorce." Tony said goofily, it earned him a sharp smack over the head. They stepped out of the elevator and sat down at their desks. Once it was lunchtime they all went out to lunch including Abby and Rebecca who met them there and Ducky. They all talked. Ziva and Jacob talked about the Middle East and how things were going over there. Kate and Tony remained rather quiet, sometimes talking to everyone about random stuff. They ate their meals before heading back to NCIS to finish off the days work. No case was called in for that day. It was 6 pm however when they were allowed to go home. Tony decided he would tell Kate about their weekend away tonight over dinner. They drove back mainly in silence. Tony was a bit worried about Kate; she was very quiet.

"Kate are you feeling ok? You've been really quiet." Tony asked looking over at her slightly.

"Yeah, just thinking about the future with the baby and everything." Kate said instantly putting her hand to her stomach.

"I was going to tell you this this evening but what the hell. I have booked somewhere for us to spend the weekend. You look like you need a time to relax. It will also be good for the baby."

"Aw Tony, thank you." Kate said and as the car pulled to a stop in the parking lot outside Tony's apartment Kate leaned over and kissed him. "Thanks Tony." Kate said again.

"No problem."

They spent the evening looking through old stuff and seeing what needed to go into storage and what could stay out. It was something they needed to do and Kate said that they should get it done sooner rather then later. Kate took some time to look through some old photos of the NCIS team and some that were taken while she was away. She smiled at a few of them.

A few hours later they kind of finished everything and decided that it was best to just leave the rest for another day. It was about 10 pm so they decided to go to bed.

The next day at work was much like the last one, quiet and mainly getting paper work done. Kate was looking forward to the time away with Tony; she was totally oblivious to the fact that Tony was nervous as anything because he was going to propose. Tony was fidgeting all day wondering how and when he was going to ask. They worked on more paper work for most of the day; they would occasionally talk about things instead of work. Ziva and Jacob would go off to MTAC to talk to some people in Israel about the situation over there.

"So when are we out of here?" Kate asked Tony.

"Well I was thinking we could head out by 6 if we get out of here by then." Tony said sitting on her desk.

"Cool, well unless a case is called in I bet we will be getting out." Kate smiled.

It was 4:30 that afternoon and Gibbs strode into the office, no one was doing anything or had anything to do.

"Go home, we don't have anything to do here." Gibbs said looking at the team.

"Thanks Boss." A series of voices said.

"Tony, I need to talk to you for a sec." Gibbs said walking to the back of the office. Kate watched them go. A few minutes later they reappeared.

"Ready?" Tony asked smiling at Kate.

"Yup." Kate said walking to the elevator after saying a quick 'thanks' to Gibbs. They made their way down the parking lot when they came across Ziva and Jacob deep in conversation. Jacob placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled her in to a hug.

Tony raised his eyebrows. "Who knew?" Tony said.

"Come on." Kate tugged at his shirt and they left Ziva and Jacob to finish…whatever it was they were doing.

It was later that evening and Kate and Tony had just arrived at the cabin park…after getting lost several times along the way. Eventually they found it and parked outside their reserved cabin.

"Tony! I thought you said this place was small?" Kate asked looking around the cabin. "Look at the bath!" Kate was excited and Tony could tell. He decided that he would wait until tomorrow to ask her.

"Dinner will be here in an hour…wanna go for a walk around or something?" Tony asked wandering around and finding Kate in the bedroom.

"Yeah sure." Kate said getting up and wandering over to the door.

They walked around for about half an hour looking at everything. There was a spa, club, gold course, a swimming pool, trails through the woods…everything. They got back ten minutes before dinner arrived. The dinner was huge, but they still finished most of it.

After having a bath the watched a DVD on the sofa. Kate ended up falling asleep on Tony. Tony turned the TV off and carried Kate to the bedroom. There was an electric blanket on the bed so that made it really warm and they fell asleep almost right away.

The next day they did all sorts. They had a spa, went for a walk through the woods, Kate pushed Tony in the pool so Tony pulled her in with him. Every time Tony thought of the proposal he would get nervous. What would she say? But also every time he thought of the baby he would smile and just want to hold her and their child. The walk through the woods gave them a chance to talk about the future and what they would do when the baby was born, whether to stay in their apartment now or try to buy a house like Abby and McGee. In the end they decided just to play by ear and see what happens in the future.

That evening Tony let Kate go have a shower while he prepared the dining room with candles and everything. Kate emerged from the bathroom and looked around in shock. Tony came around the corner with a long red rose.

"Tony? What…" Kate was lost for words.

Tony pressed his finger up against her lips. "Kate, now I don't really know how to put this but," Tony grinned not really knowing what to say, " I know how much we have gone through, more then most cupels but that didn't stop anything we did, and now we're going to be parents so I think this is the right thing to do…." Tony knelt down and opened a small box, inside containing a ring; it was gold with blue diamonds embedded around it… "Caitlin Todd, will you marry me?" Tony finally asked.

Tears sprung into Kate's eyes as she looked at Tony. "Of course I will!" Kate said. Tony got up and placed the ring on her finger. They hugged each other, both couldn't be happier.
